PlanET Biogas recognised for advancing demand-oriented biogas production

The PlanET Biogas Group has received the DLV Novelties Award 2017, one of the most distinguished German innovation awards of the agricultural sector.

The German agricultural publishing company (DLV) benchmarks technical developments in ten categories, and at this year’s Eurotier in Hanover, the PlanET gas management system was honoured due to its practical impact on demand-oriented biogas production. 

The DLV jury elected the PlanET gas management system due to its added value for AD plant operators.

The two main functional components are the PlanET Eco Flexgas, a control unit for flexible pressure compensation between several gas storages, and the PlanET Eco Gasakku, an external gas storage, which could be installed at ground level without constructing a digester.

Both state-of-the-art developments are necessary, if an AD plant operator intends to produce biogas on demand.

PlanET Biogas Group MD, Jörg Meyer zu Strohe, and the responsible R&D project manager, Andreas Thesseling, received the brand award during the awards ceremony in Hanover.

“We are glad to notice that the DLV jury pays tribute to midsized enterprises, which continuously invest into R&D and provide high tech solutions for AD plant operators”, Meyer zu Strohe said.
